The Lord will not forget the grace
Reserved for faithful Abra'm's race;
His love their wand'rings shall restore.
And guide them, that they stray no more.
Israel! 'tis thine accepted day.
Thy God himself prepares the way;—
Behold his ensign from afar—
Behold the light of Jacob's Star.
That Star, which once on Bethle'm rose,
A token on thy mountain glows.
The morn of earth's blest jubilee
Sheds its sweet early light on thee.
And thou, who once on Israel's ground,
A homeless wanderer wast found,
Redeemer, on thy heavenly throne,
Still call that ancient church thine own;—
Bid her departed light return,
Thy holy splendor round her burn;—
From prostrate Judah's ruins raise
A living temple to thy praise.
